点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Humber College located in Toronto, Ontario, will leverage the NSERC Mobilize fund to strengthen our regional partnerships and applied research capacity in Digital Transformation (DT) and Social Innovation (SI) and to build new capacity to help our regional partners respond to the health, economic, and environmental crises brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change via two new interdisciplinary research themes, Healthy Built Environments (HBE) and the New World of Work (NWOW). Through our objectives and plans, we will provide comprehensive and impactful services to our partners and training experiences to develop highly qualified personnel (HQP). In the long-term, the Mobilize funding will enable Humber College to deepen our capabilities to meet the needs of our community, strategically grow our opportunities to attract new partners and create more complex, multi-partnered initiatives with synergistic impacts, create impactful programs that engage underrepresented communities in research and provide enhanced training to diverse HQP including students and emerging researchers.
